Is there a way to annotate tables?

The user wants to be able to annotate values in a table (such as below). Is there a way to do this? Basically, she wants to provide some note on particular cells.

    Hi @NathanDorsch, annotation feature is only currently available in trend charts. An option is to have a number of line charts, where you overlay 'segments date' with 1 or more metrics, down the dashboard page to enable full view and ability of annotations, based on the table shown.

    If not known yet, it would be a good opportunity to get a priority list of those metrics from your user and see what would be most to least valuable to have annotate-able.

    Not exactly however you could include an additional column with the notes and use that field as a tooltip and include that in the hover text but that would be a on a row basis and not on a cell basis.

    Thanks @GrantSmith would that require the user to update the notes elsewhere (perhaps on a spreadsheet) and then upload into the dataset/ETL? Or is there a way for them to annotate directly in Domo?

    They would need to add the data in another dataset. You could utilize a Web Form for the user to edit within Domo (or alternatively a Google Sheet / Excel Document) and then join that data to your dataset to include the annotation.
